Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nursing
Caring for children with cancer is one of the most technically and emotionally difficult areas in nursing. Not only are you dealing with children and adolescents who hurt, you must reassure and educate families, balance a multitude of other health care professionals, and keep up with ever-changing nursing practice and care. To help nurses stay aware of the newest effective nursing practices, innovative therapeutic approaches, significant information trends, and the latest research in hematology and pediatric oncology nursing, you need the Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nursing.
